What is a period?,"A period, also known as menstruation, is a normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is a natural process that prepares the body for pregnancy. During the cycle, the ovaries release estrogen and progesterone, which cause the lining of the uterus to thicken and build up with blood and nutrients. It may be scary the first time you get your period but dont worry it is totally normal to have one and all women of all nationalitys get them."
How do I take care of a period?,"Hygiene! Wear breathable clothing, change menstrual products regularly, and wash your hands before and after using them. Use unscented products and avoid soaps, sprays, or creams with artificial fragrances. Pain relief! Try a warm bath or shower, a heating pad, or a hot water bottle on your lower abdomen or back. You can also try massaging your abdomen, or taking an over-the-counter pain reliever or anti-inflammatory drug. Other symptoms! To relieve back pressure, you can try lying down with a pillow under your knees. You can also try eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, and reducing stress. Some foods that may help include chicken, fish, and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
